Location of the SchoolThe main SOEST offices, labs, classes, and other facilities are located in the southeast corner of the “upper campus” of the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa in beautiful Manoa valley. Manoa is a neighborhood in the city of Honolulu, capital of the state of Hawai‘i and located on the island of O‘ahu, which is one of the eight main islands of the Hawaiian archipelago. In the top photo, the location of SOEST buildings on the UH campus is circled. The view is looking South, toward the ocean (looking makai in Hawaiian) with Diamond Head Crater and Waikiki in the background.
